[pve-devel] [PATCH] volume_size_info: check that storage is enabled (and available)

[Dietmar Maurer]

Btw, I have some plans regarding to size_info in QemuServer.

To avoid accessing storage to often, we can add a 'size=XX' tag to the configuration. 

For example:

ide0: /dev/sdb,size=5

This is just a hint, we add that when we add/modify a drive.

Additionally, we implement a 'qm rescan' command, which search for unused drives and also 
updates the file sizes.

What do you think?
